Apple's MacBook air 2016 is going to be unveiled on Oct. 24 as suggested by numerous reports.

Apple has been known to have media events in the month of October, so it is a safe guess that a media event could happen this month to launch their products that will be made available for the holiday season.  9To5Mac, though, does not agree on the date of the event, which falls on a Monday.

Many suggestions based their reports on an article that came through Forbes more than a week ago, when Rhoda Alexander, Director Tablet and Notebook PCs at IHS Markit Technology, projected that several Apple products will launch this month. Alexander said that production has started for three laptops "in the second calendar quarter." The alleged product that will be unveiled are the refreshed versions of the 13.3-inch and 15.4-inch MacBook Pro and the 13.3-inch MacBook Air.

Alexander also mentioned that "given the timing of the start of production, inclusion of [Intel's] Kaby Lake chip appears unlikely." This means that the rumored laptops will still carry the sixth-generation Intel processors, the Skylake chips.

The MacBook Air has not exhibited many changes in the past eight years, and the time is ripe for a new model to be rolled out by the Cupertino-based tech giant. However, very little information has surfaced for the Air model laptop as most of the attention was given to the MacBook Pro 2016 model.

It is suggested, though, that the alleged laptop will still be thinner and lighter than its predecessor. Some reports suggest that the device will arrive with a TouchID fingerprint technology, a Magic Mouse, and the latest operating system. The latest OS will allow features such as Auto Lock, Siri, and Clipboard, among others. It is also rumored to have a USB Type-C port, to be Apple Pencil compatible, and to sport next-generation SSDs.

The MacBook Pro and iMac all-in-one desktop machines are also speculated to arrive on Oct. 24.
